Contested Divorce in Jacksonville, FL

What is the difference between contested & uncontested divorce?

Florida is a no-fault
divorce state which means that a divorce can be granted on one of two grounds:

The marriage is irretrievably broken

One spouse suffers from mental incapacity

Generally, when a divorce is filed on the ground of irretrievable breakdown,
this opens up the opportunity for the other spouse to deny that the marriage
is broken. When this occurs, then there is said to be a contested divorce.
Another way for contested divorce to occur is when an agreement cannot
be reached regarding
division of assets, or when another element cannot be agreed on.

Whenever there is a disagreement regarding whether or not a divorce is
desired, there are various options that the court has to proceed with
the divorce, or to order an alternative. When there is a dispute regarding
the terms of divorce, the couple involved will have various opportunities
to resolve these disputes before the court will make a decision on their behalf.

If you are facing a contested divorce scenario, then you need a skilled
litigator from a Jacksonville divorce attorney on your side who can relentless
fight for your best interests in the courtroom.
